What you seem to be referring to is the SPI Signal Interface mode pins. I don't think you have the 11 pin (miniSD) columns correct, and you seem to have different problems with the 8 pin column (microSD). On the miniSD, in the SPI Mode, pins 8 and 9 are Unused and 10 and 11 are reserved (basically means the same thing). Now you say that you are making the board for a miniSD socket "that suits a micro SD card"--I don't follow what you mean here. Are you simply plugging in either a miniSd, or, a microSD in an available adapter (they often come with them) or is there a socket type which will accept either size? Giving us part numbers is always good!
My take on it this (based on what I found at
www.interfacebus.com):
MiniSD-11 pin name -- function MicroSD-9 pin
1............CD -- chip select..........2
2............DI -- MOSI..................3
3............Vss --Gnd...................6
4............Vdd --V+....................4
5............CLK--serial clock..........5
6............Vss --Gnd
7............DO -- MISO.................7
8............unused.......................1
9............unused
10...........reserved.....................8
11...........reserved
Also, are you sure you can omit the card detect: how will software know to set up for a new card or delete buffers etc when a card is removed?
And the Write protect is usually a switch to ground that is activated if and only if the card's write protect slide is in the corresponding position, so to answer
that question: ground (probably--but check the socket to be 100 % sure).
